This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 357 The name of the miracle doctor
"vomit--"

The mother and daughter vomited for a while, and their hazy consciousness gradually returned.

Big Rabbit lay on the bed, panting, looking completely bewildered.

The little rabbit sat on the ground panting, blinking its big, round eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"They've been poisoned?"

Shui Wu had already realized what was happening by this time.

Luo Zijun took the pulses of the mother and daughter again and nodded, saying, "They were poisoned by mushrooms. It's a hallucinogenic mushroom. They'll be fine after resting for half a day."

Shui Wu looked at him intently: "It seems you really are a miracle doctor, able to cure any illness. Yesterday, we consulted two doctors, but neither could diagnose the cause, yet you cured me as soon as you arrived."

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more."

Luo Zijun looked humble.

Then, unable to resist glancing at the mother and daughter again, he asked in a low voice, "Are they monsters?"

Shuiwu didn't answer. She helped Xiaotu up from the ground and, after confirming that she had recovered, said, "Let's go to the other patient."

After leaving the hut, the little rabbit chased after them, saying, "Brother Stinky, we're not monsters."

Luo Zijun turned to look at her flushed face and said, "I'm not smelly either."

The little rabbit, blushing, asked, "What's your name?"

Just as Luo Zijun was about to answer, Shui Wu said from the side, "Just call him Doctor. From now on, he will be the doctor of our Mirage Island."

Luo Zijun's heart sank.

The little rabbit's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Sister A-Wu, really? He'll be living here from now on?"

Shui Wu glanced to the side and said, "Yes."

Luo Zijun immediately said, "Miss Shuiwu, what do you mean? Are you going to imprison me here for the rest of my life? Don't you stand by what you said before?"

Shui Wu didn't answer directly, but continued walking forward, saying, "It depends on your performance."

"Watch my performance?"

Luo Zijun followed behind, scoffing inwardly, thinking to herself: The better I perform, the less willing they will be to let me leave.

"If you dare not take treatment seriously, you know the consequences."

Shui Wu seemed to see through his thoughts and warned him again in a cold voice.

Luo Zijun did not speak again.

After walking for a while, Shui Wu noticed that he wasn't speaking and couldn't help but turn to look at him and ask, "Are you angry?"

Luo Zijun sneered and said, "I wouldn't dare."

Shuiwu glanced at him a few times, then suddenly asked, "I heard you want to go out to sea and cross the waters of the Nine Islands Kingdom?"

Luo Zijun replied, "Yes."

Shui Wu paused for a moment, then asked, "Where do you want to go? The Kingdom of Women, or..."

Luo Zijun's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Do you know about the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Most people only know that once you cross the border of the Nine Islands Kingdom, you will reach the Kingdom of Women, but the girl in front of them clearly knows about another country.

Shui Wu did not answer, but said, "It is very difficult for humans to cross that sea area. It can be said to be a matter of life and death. Why would you want to seek your own death?"

Luo Zijun tentatively asked, "I've heard of a pirate named Red Bird who can lead a fleet across that sea area."

"You said it yourself, it's just hearsay."

Shui Wu didn't reveal any information and continued walking forward.

Luo Zijun carefully considered her words and suddenly realized a useful piece of information. She quickly asked, "Miss Shuiwu just said that it's very difficult for humans to cross that sea area. But what if it's not human? Wouldn't it be very easy?"

Shui Wu said, "It's not simple either."

Luo Zijun said, "Simpler than humans, right?"

Shui Wu paused for a moment, then said, "If it were a siren, it would be much simpler."

Luo Zijun's expression shifted, and she said, "There are sea monsters on your Enchanted Island, aren't there?"

"do not know."

Shuiwu did not answer.

"I don't know" doesn't mean "it doesn't exist," which implies that it does exist.

Luo Zijun's eyes lit up as she realized that she seemed to have obtained a lot of useful information. Even if there were no red birds on this island, there was likely a way to cross that sea area.

The woman in front of me must know quite a lot.

Next, Shuiwu took him to the homes of several patients, all of whom had minor ailments such as colds, fevers, or other minor illnesses, and were cured with a few doses of medicine.

As evening fell, just as Shui Wu was leading him back, a little boy suddenly rushed over, shouting, "Sister A-Wu! Sister A-Wu! Quickly take Doctor Hua to Aunt Hong's! Uncle Crazy's finger has been cut off, and he's bleeding a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Wu immediately led Luo Zijun to another courtyard.

While walking on the road, Shuiwu asked why.

The little boy gasped, "Uncle Crazy went out to gamble again and didn't come back for three days and three nights. When he came back this morning, he argued with Aunt Hong, and then... then he used a kitchen knife... to cut off his own finger and said he would never gamble again."

Luo Zijun was speechless.

Can you trust a gambler's words?

Even if you cut off both of his hands, he'd probably go back to gambling with his feet after a while.

Shuiwu led him through a bamboo forest to a small courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard an old man cursing from inside the house: "Miracle doctor? What a load of rubbish! You fools! You don't believe me, but you believe that swindler we caught from who-knows-where. Be careful not to take his medicine and die! If you're so capable, let that swindler come here. I'll have a match with him right here and see what kind of miracle doctor he really is!" Shui Wu frowned and explained, "This Doctor Sun is someone we brought back from outside a few days ago. His medical skills are alright, but he's no match for you. He couldn't save my father, and he has a terrible temper."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from inside the house: "Who's talking badly about me outside?"

An elderly man with silver hair and a hunched back, dressed in gray, walked out of the house with a cane in his hand and a face full of anger. When he saw the two of them, he glared at them and said, "Young lady, you just said that I am no match for anyone?"

Shui Wu, always eager for a good show, glanced behind her and said, "He's no match for me. He's that Dr. Hua, and he's already cured my father."

The old man flew into a rage, glaring at the person behind her. Upon seeing the man's face, he burst into laughter, saying, "So it's just a greenhorn! He hasn't even grown his hair yet, and he dares to call himself a miracle doctor? I've practiced medicine for fifty years, saving countless lives, and I've never dared to utter the word 'miracle doctor'! What makes this kid so worthy of calling himself a miracle doctor? Have you all been kicked in the head by donkeys? You dare let him treat patients?"

Luo Zijun said, "Senior, you misunderstand. I have always said that my medical skills are shallow and I only know a little bit. I have never dared to call myself a divine doctor."

"I bother!"

The old man spat and glared at him, saying, "Who's your senior? I'm a real doctor, and you're just a liar. How could I be your senior?"

Seeing that the old man had a bad temper, Luo Zijun ignored him.

Just then, a woman came out of the house, crying, "Awu, quick, quick, let this Dr. Hua come in and take a look at your crazy uncle!"

Shui Wu immediately led Luo Zijun into the house.

The doctor, surnamed Sun, followed him in, cursing and swearing. He said, "I've already applied the medicine and bandaged him up. It's just a few broken fingers, nothing to kill him. Let him sleep it off, take the medicine I prescribed for a few days, and he'll be fine. What can this kid do? He just prescribes some random medicine to scare you!"

The room was filled with the stench of blood.

Blood was still left on the ground.

A shirtless man lay on the bed, seemingly unconscious, with his right hand bandaged, the white bandage now stained red.

The woman came in, crying and regretting, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I kept cursing him..."

Luo Zijun came to the bedside, first took the man's pulse, and then asked, "How many fingers were cut off?"

The woman wiped away her tears and said, "Three roots, so much blood."

"What about the other three fingers?"

Luo Zijun asked.

The woman pointed to the ground in the corner, her voice trembling, and said, "There... there."

Luo Zijun quickly went over and picked up the three severed fingers from the ground. After examining them closely, she found that they were only about two inches long.

"When was it severed?"

he asked again.

The woman wiped away her tears and said, "Just now, for a very short time."

Luo Zijun immediately said, "Go and light an oil lamp, and fetch a basin of clean water. Be quick."

Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly went out to fetch water.

Shuiwu then lit an oil lamp.

Luo Zijun then took the man's right hand from the bed and began to unwrap the gauze that had just been wrapped around it.

Upon seeing this, Old Man Sun immediately burst into curses: "You brat, are you trying to kill him?! I just finished applying the medicine and bandaging him. If you take it off, what if he bleeds again? How will you stop it?"

Luo Zijun ignored him and quickly unwrapped the gauze.

Old Man Sun jumped up and down cursing. Seeing the woman bring in water, he quickly said, "You stupid woman! You're letting this brat treat you haphazardly; he'll kill your husband!"

The woman put down the water in her hand, her pale face showing some hesitation.

There were two other men and a woman in the room, all relatives of the couple. Upon hearing this, they were also somewhat skeptical of the young man who was known as a miracle doctor.

The woman among them also advised, "Ah Hong, the wound has already been bandaged, and the madman is asleep. Isn't it wrong to reopen the wound?"

The woman named Ah Hong looked pleadingly at Shui Wu beside her.

Although Shuiwu didn't understand Luo Zijun's behavior either, after seeing his treatment methods yesterday and today, she naturally trusted his medical skills and comforted him, "Aunt Hong, don't worry, let's see how he treats you first."

Old Man Sun sneered from the side, "Hmph, I'd like to see how this 'Divine Physician Hua' treats her!"

Luo Zijun quickly removed the gauze and found that blood was immediately gushing from the man's severed finger, and medicine had been applied to the wound.

He immediately picked up the water from the ground and put the severed finger in it to wash it clean.

The man seemed to feel pain, and his body trembled a few times.

When Old Man Sun saw that the boy had actually washed away the medicine he had just painstakingly applied, he immediately sneered.

Luo Zijun cleaned the wound on the man's severed finger, and then washed the three severed finger pieces in water. Next, she took out a small bottle of strong liquor and applied it to the wound and the severed finger several times. Then she took out a thin needle and a transparent thread, quickly threaded them, and began to suture the severed finger.

The people inside the room stared wide-eyed.

Old Sun hurriedly asked, "What... what are you doing, kid?"

As Luo Zijun carefully sewed up the muscles inside, she said, "Sew up the fingers."

Old Sun burst into laughter: "Sewing up a finger? You think it's clothes? A broken finger can be sewn back up? That's utterly absurd! It's the height of ridiculousness! Hahahaha..."

The others around also found it somewhat absurd.

If a finger is broken, can it be sewn back together with an embroidery needle, just like mending clothes?
How can it be?

"I told you, this kid is a fraud, but you didn't believe me! Look for yourselves, he's sewing clothes, not treating patients! Hahahaha..."

Old Sun laughed so hard he coughed.

Seeing this, Shui Wu couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on her face.

This treatment method is simply unheard of.

With fingers already broken, can you really sew them back together like sewing clothes?
